ive currently got a 1060 6gb graphics card with an old amd fx series processor, and i am upgrading. ive only recently purchased my curent power supply, which was for my graphics card, and is a 400w integrator. im going to get a ryzen 7 3700x, with a msi b450 mortar motherboard, and i was wondering about my power supply, will it be powerful enough to run that system? i dont want to get a new psu as the one i have is virtually brand new, but i also dont want to melt my system. thoughts?

is my PSU powerful enough?

I would spend the extra 10-15£ to get a 500 or 600W unit. More options when the time comes to upgrade gpu.
